Council on Aging’s January activities and programs

Dec 29, 2020

Although the Wareham Council on Aging remains closed because of covid-19, a variety of outreach programs and appointments are available, according to a Council on Aging press release.

Meals on Wheels will continue to be delivered to homes of seniors age 60+ and people with disabilities, Monday through Friday. And Grab and Go lunches can be picked up at the Multiservice Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Meals are free, and arrangements must be made ahead by calling 508-291-3130.

Drivers are desperately needed for Meals on Wheels. There is a mileage reimbursement, and the Council on Aging is taking special care during the pandemic to keep drivers and seniors safe. Those interested in driving for Meals on Wheels should call 508-291-3100 ext. 6514. 

Yoga zoom classes are now available. People who are interested should email the instructor Pam at yogawithgrace@comcast.net. She will send a link and more information.

The Bereavement Support Group is now virtual. Ken Hart, who has facilitated the group in-person in the past, is offering this alternative group meeting. Those who wish to participate should call to register at 508-399-5900.

Tax preparation help is available by appointment at the Multiservice Center. Appointments can be made by calling 508-291-3130. Instructions on the procedure to follow and what to bring will be given prior to the appointment.

Legal questions will also be answered by appointment, starting in January 2021. Free 20-minute consultations regarding wills, trusts, proxies, etc. will be available. Those who have legal questions should call 508-291-3130.

The Sheriff’s Safety Assurance Program is a program that is free to all Plymouth County residents. This computerized telephone system places a call to a participant at a prearranged time each day between the hours of 6 a.m. and noon to make sure the person is safe. To enroll in this program, call 508-830-6200.
